Horse on the World

Chapter 988 confession

Li Qing was stunned, looking at Qingfeng who was kneeling on the ground, already vaguely knew what Qingfeng was going to say in his heart, so he couldn't help but fell silent. "General, starting from Chong County, we have traveled all the way. Yunxi has never asked you for anything, but today, I ask you. Don't exile Anmin overseas." Qingfeng raised his head, looked at Li Qing, and said.

"After returning to Dingzhou this time, I will hand over all the affairs of the Overwatch Council to Mingyan and Ji Sichen. I have already made up my mind. The Military Investigation Department will be handed over to Director Mingyan. She has been in charge of this department all along. , while others such as security, internal work, and external work will be handed over to Ji Sichen, and the Overwatch Council will still be divided into two. In this way, the power of the successor of the director of the Overwatch Council will be restricted in the future, and I will withdraw and retire. Choose a place that no one knows to live in seclusion, and never step into the world of mortals again."

Li Qing raised his eyebrows, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it quickly, "Yun Xi, you have sacrificed too much for Yun Rong and An Min, now that Yun Rong has grown up, she has her own way of doing things." In fact, you don’t need to think too much about her.”

Qingfeng smiled wryly, "My younger sister is nothing new, General, I also know that she is drifting away from me now, but I only have this younger sister, and I am used to putting her under my wing, even if she does No matter how many wrong things, how dissatisfied with me, I am used to taking care of her. General, as long as you don't exile Anmin, I will persuade Yunrong to keep his own place and let Anmin be a prince of peace. As for the Li clan , I will go and make a break with them, so that they will completely stop using Anmin."

Li Qing looked at Qingfeng and said solemnly: "Yunxi, for the sake of Yunrong and Anmin, you even want to give up on me, right? You said just now that you want to live in seclusion and never set foot in the world of mortals? Is that what you mean?"

Qingfeng smiled self-consciously, stood up from the ground, walked to the window, looked at the first-quarter moon, after a while, turned around, looked at Li Qing and said, "General, what am I? Have I ever owned you? Since How can you give up if you have never had it before?"

Li Qing couldn't help being speechless, and after a while he said angrily: "That's because you don't want to have it, Yun Xi, you have never fought for it, I know, you are for Yunrong, aren't you?"

Qingfeng shook her head slowly, "Back then in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Wen came to persuade me and told me that even if you married Qingcheng, she would let you take me as a concubine. I told her that if you couldn't have all of them, I would I would rather not. And you are destined to be impossible to be owned by me, so I am willing to sink into the darkness forever, and watching you in the darkness is enough. Now, you are about to reach the peak of your life, my The mission is also over. General, after you ascend the throne, do you want to come to Taoyuan Xiaozhu secretly to look for me, or should I enter the palace to look for you when the moon is dark and the wind is high, general, this is too ridiculous. So, Retirement was my only option."

Li Qing turned around in the room a few times irritatedly, "I know, title, Yunxi, if you give me time, I will give you an honorable title and let you stay by my side You know, I like you, and if they have a place in my heart, then you are the one who occupies the most part."

"In my capacity, general, how can you give me a title? Who am I? I am Qingfeng, the head of the Overwatch Council, and the helm of the dark forces in Dingzhou. The power in my hands is enough to defend Dingzhou. The foundation, the forces that grew up with me spread all over Dingzhou. As long as I still exist, it is a flag flying high. These forces have a support point. Gradually disintegrate and disintegrate. General, how can you not understand this truth? Even if you deliberately deceive yourself because you like me, how can Lu Yiming and Yan Nanfei sit by and watch? How can you sit by and watch? If I don’t retreat, I will return If you appear by your side majestically, at some point in the future, you will definitely confront them head-on. General, you have never been an arbitrary and indifferent person. When the time comes, you will definitely be in a dilemma, and when I really arrive at that time , in order to protect yourself, you will not be merciful to these people, so in the end, whether they win or I win, it will be a fatal blow to your career, General. Instead of facing this situation at that time, Why didn't I get out of here sooner?"

Li Qing was stunned for a while, "Yun Xi, you always think of the worst when you think about things, why don't you think about another ending?"

Qingfeng smiled wryly, "Maybe it's because I've stayed in the dark world for too long, and my heart is a bit dark. I always think about the worst outcome in advance, and then try to avoid it. General, you know There is a huge power hidden behind me, otherwise, why would you exile Anmin?"

Li Qing waved his hand, "Okay, Yun Xi, let's not discuss the issue of whether you will go or stay, okay, let's put it aside for a while, I believe I can figure out a way. As for the exile of Anmin you mentioned It’s not because of you, but you guessed it wrong. In fact, this is not exile, well, since you think so, let’s treat it as exile, let Anmin go overseas, and in the future I will let Ji Shi Go too, this is just for my grander idea, because I want to build a long-term peace and stability, and the Li Dynasty will never die. "

"Eternal peace and stability, forever?" Qingfeng turned around in shock, "General, how is this possible? No matter how wise you are, you can't guarantee that the future generations can protect the Li Dynasty forever. It is an iron law that does not fall down. The longer a dynasty exists, the deeper and more intense the social conflicts it accumulates will become. Grow again in the fire and complete a reincarnation, without realizing that we can achieve long-term stability and never fall."

"So I want to do it, because I am different." Li Qing said with a smile: "I know, there is a way to do this, as long as I can persist in doing it and spend my life's strength, Fix this kind of political system and let it be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yunxi, I am thirty years old this year. Even if I can only live to be 70 years old, I still have 40 years to complete this matter. It took me ten years to subvert I overthrew the Great Chu, and then spent 40 years to complete this great cause. Overthrowing the Great Chu is easy. Later generations will say that I am wise and powerful, but I will truly go down in history if I accomplish this great event. "

"Yun Xi, you are extremely talented. If you are willing to help me, I will get twice the result with half the effort."

"General, what do you want to do? Weaken the power of the royal family, exile Anmin, and help the world, are you all preparing for this matter?" Qingfeng murmured.

"Of course!" Li Qing said in a loud voice: "The Great Chu is already at the end of its battle, and it's just dying. Now they can't attract my interest. The only thing I'm thinking about now is to build a brand new political system to stabilize Li. Dynasty."

"There is the Li clan behind Anmin. Of course, this is due to Jiyue. You sister, forget it, let's not talk about her. Besides the Li clan, there is also you. As you said, even if you go, you You are living in seclusion, who will these forces attached to you turn to? There is no doubt that they will turn to Jiyue and Anmin, but Jiyue does not have your ability, she cannot control these people, on the contrary, she will be attracted by these people Pushing big strides towards the dangerous cliff, so I want to draw the bottom line and send Anmin overseas."

"The same is true for Jishi. Now Jishi seems to be in a weak position, but after the world is unified in the future, the old Chu power that will belong to him should not be underestimated. These century-old wealthy families have a deep foundation, and it is impossible to uproot them. Everyone knows the current affairs very well. If they surrendered and you joined, can the new dynasty move them casually? Wouldn’t that be a discredit to the world? And Jishi, who has the blood of Qingcheng, will undoubtedly become their banner.”

"So, whether it is the new forces headed by Anmin or the old forces headed by Jishi, as long as any one of Anmin or Jishi is in power, they will be co-operated and promoted by these people, and let the Li family The dynasty will move towards the old road of Great Chu step by step. Maybe it will be 100 years, maybe 200 years, or 300 years. The Li Dynasty will be like the current Great Chu. One or more Zhang Qing and Wang Qing will rise and overthrow them. This is the foundation of what you call the iron law of history.”

"General, so you are now interested in Bao'er's son Shimin!" Qingfeng said, "She has no roots and no ties, and now no one is optimistic about him. After Jishi and Anmin left, many people would even go Ingratiate yourself with Zemin, but you have already chosen your successor, haven't you?"

"What will happen in the future, how can you tell now?" Li Qing said with a smile, "It's just that Shimin's chances will be greater from now on."

"What kind of system do you want to design? Up to now, I'm still a little confused?" Qingfeng shook his head. "If there is no Anmin or Jishi, those people will still look for a new investor. Shimin and Zemin may not go on like this forever. There will be a lot of temptations in front of them."

"If they do this, then I think there will be a new place waiting for them overseas!" Li Qing said solemnly: "I, Li Qing, are still very young, and I will have a son in the future!"

Qingfeng looked at Li Qing in shock.After a while, he said, "General, what exactly do you want to do?"

"You should have seen it, and now I'm doing it."

"Expand the prime minister's power and limit the imperial power?" Qingfeng asked tentatively.

Li Qing laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said: "You are really smart, that's exactly how it is. In my vision, the future political system will be that the imperial power is supreme, the symbol of the country, and the leader of the country, but he has no actual rights. It will be the cabinet that governs and controls the country."

"Then how do you avoid the dominance of the power of the prime minister? The power of the prime minister will be reversed. If the future chief minister wants to rebel, wouldn't it be easy?"

Li Qing smiled coldly, "So now I am sparing no effort to expand the cabinet. The chief minister of the cabinet is the largest, but the other cabinet ministers each hold a part of the power. They will check the chief minister and each other. The emperor will be an arbiter , Yun Xi, my specific idea is this..."

Li Qing enthusiastically led Qingfeng to the desk, and pulled out a thick stack of manuscript paper from the desk.
